A crime was committed. A suspect was arrested. What's the complaint?

In the Zimmerman case no crime was committed and the rabble still Demands an arrest!

I don't really put this one on Barockstar, he's responsible for enough of his own bad decisions. This is pure media sensationalism (after all racial divide sells print and ratings).

What does baffle me, is why Eric Holder refuses to acknowledge the black panthers offering a bounty on Mr. Zimmerman. Even IF the Sanford PD dropped the ball (which is still being investigated), he of all people should know there is legal means to have that investigated. What kind of example does it set for the attorney general to BLATANTLY ignore this felony that was done on such a public arena?

I don't deny that there is still racial inequalities in our country, but for the country's head law enforment to set a precedent of such obvious racisim (it's all the same to me, know matter who you discriminate against), is really counter productive.

In my opinion, we will never overcome this terrible flaw in our society, until EVERYONE is held to the same standards.

Tyrone Woodfork was arrested and charged.  So I fail to see your point. 

It still hasn't be established that Martin assaulted Zimmerman either.  The 9/11 tape of Zimmerman's call puts Zimmerman in pursuit of Martin.  It still looks like Zimmerman started it.   Oh, wait.  I know, Zimmerman would never lie to cover his own ass and Martin, being a black youth, was obviously out spoiling for a fight and just jumped Zimmerman for no reason.  We'll ignore that Zimmerman was following Martin and likely confronting Martin and that Martin had committed and was committing no crime. 

-------------------------

...

It still hasn't been established that he didn't assault him, either. How about you stop speculating, based on info the biased media provides you, and let the investigators do there job. Face it, no one knows what really happened....

Am I misunderstanding something, but one theory is that when the dispather told him not to pursue him [Martin], he was returning back to his truck and supposedly that was when the "attack' took place. I'm unclear on this part of the situation and welcome factual information if anyone could clear taht up. that seems like a VERY important piece of the puzzle.

Somebody on here (I think), hit the nail on the head; It was purely a case of lack of communication. Had Zimmerman approached him and identified himself as neighborhood watch (and been polite), Martin could have explained that he was staying with a family member in the neighborhood, a very terrible situation would have been avoided.

Nope it hasn't which was my point in providing that scenario as an answer to Crankit stating flatly that Zimmerman committed no crime.  The scenario I posit is as or more plausible given the circumstances.  As it is, Zimmerman will walk because proving that he wasn't assaulted is pretty much impossible without a witness of the entire altercation. 

But regardless of the details, since Zimmerman created the chain of events that lead to the shooting I still think that he is guilty of manslaughter.  If Stand Your Ground as written prevents such a prosecution then the law needs to be refined.  I support the principle of Stand Your Ground.  I do not, however, think that should in any way protect you when you create the circumstances that lead to the shooting.  It is unlikely that a sworn officer would get away with using lethal force in the Zimmerman/Martin scenario.  Why exactly should a private citizen with no enforcement authority have more authority to use discretionary force than Police Officers. 

-------------------------

...

A law officer would know how to handle the pursuit and any attack without hitting the ground or losing his gun. Or, more likely, he(she) would wait for backup.

Again, all the uproar is unnecessary. This is just a tragic product of stupidity and youth and poor judgement. Hopefully we can learn from this as a society...as in, the most important weapon you carry is between your ears.

Learn something.  Anything.  Please.

This is where I'm holding off my judgement. If he indeed backed off when told to do so and was attacked on the way to the truck as he said, then I don' t think he should be charged with anything. There was a recent rash of break-ins in the area and he was acting within his duties.

If that is NOT the case and he continued to pursue, then lied to the investigators to cover up his actions, then he deserves the max penalty the DA can prove.

I also disagree that a police officer would have been charged in that scenario. If you physically assalt a cop he has every right to whop that ass, shoot or tase you and then proceed to dunkin doughnuts.

I could tentatively agree with this and we'll never know as there are no witnesses of the start of the altercation. 

He can taze, beat, pepper spray...he can't kill unless the assailant really just came out of nowhere and seriously got the jump on him.  A cop using lethal force on an unarmed suspect is likely in a mountain of shit.

How do you know that? Are you personally investigating this case, reviewing the raw data?

He is on neighborhood watch, his responsibility was to monitor the neighborhood for suspicious activity. We don't know what prompted him to be suspicious of Treyvon (although the media will make you think he was suspicious because he was black)

What if he saw someone who was suspicious, lost sight of him, got out and went looking for him, and was attacked? What if in his personal defense (you know, what if his head was being beaten into the ground) he feared for his life and shot him? What if Treyvon never assaulted him to begin with?

The point is, no one knows what happened. Its pretty obvious the media is skewing it's presentation of the facts to form public opinion (like posting baby faced pics of him, manipulating the 911 call, giving false reasons for his suspension). That fact alone should make you doubt everything that comes out of the media's mouth.

If you jump to conclusions without realizing the information being presented can't be trusted, than you are more of a sheep than you realize.

In the end, IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT ANY OF US THINK, IT IS NOT OUR JOB, AND OUR SYSTEM IS SET UP TO PREVENT THIS KIND OF MOB MENTALITY PERSUCUTING INNOCENT PEOPLE. Let the pros do their job. I just hope they make decisions based on fact and not political pressure, otherwise we citizens are doomed.

Man I am slow typing...........

"you kids have been nothing but punks, sissified. So quick to pick up a gun. Too scared to take an ass whipping. [raises fists] This is what makes you a man. When I was growing up, this was all the protection we needed. You win some, you lose some. But you live. You live to fight another day. Now you think you're a man with that gun in your hand, don't you?"


Just thought I'd thow that out there.
